Barnes and Noble Leatherbound Classics Series

This constitutes my first acquisition in the 'Barnes and Noble Leatherbound Classics' series. I became aware of this beautifully crafted collection of classic titles not too long ago -and therefore much too late! 'Too late', unfortunately, because some of them seem to be (or going) out of print by now and so can prove to be quiet hard to find, at a reasonable price at least.

Anyway, this one was on top of my wishlist - since I am a great admirer of Poe's work - and it surely didn't disappoint. It's a handsome book with silver gilded pages, silver ribbon bookmark and an evocative (probably faux - but who cares?) leather cover. In closing, in my opinion these books are also ideally suited to be gifted.

Author Biography

Edgar Allan Poe self-published his first book, Tamerlane and Other Poems, in 1827. In 1830, Poe embarked on a career as a writer and began contributing reviews and essays to popular periodicals. He also wrote sketches and short fiction and in 1833 published his only completed novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Over the next five years he established himself as a master of the short story form through the publication of "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Tell-tale Heart" and other well-known works. In 1841, he wrote "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," generally considered the first modern detective story. The publication of The Raven and Other Poems in 1845 brought him additional fame as a poet.

Acting on behalf of his firm of solicitors, Jonathan Harker travels to the Carpathian Mountains to finalise the sale of England's Carfax Abbey to Transylvanian noble Count Dracula. Little does he realise that, in doing so, he endangers all that he loves.
